I found this to be a rough read. For the most part I did NOT like the characters --often intensely! Which doesn't mean it's a bad book or poorly written. Just be prepared. Lots of violence, brutality.

Dark, thought-provoking, and hard to put down- but some really difficult content. Reminds me a lot of The Handmaid’s Tale in tone and content, but more graphic.
